Chapter 86: Senior Dugu, You and Sister Yan Are Both Poisoned
In a luxurious room, Dugu Bo sat in a large rocking chair, gently swaying back and forth. Dugu Yan stood behind him, her delicate hands kneading his shoulders. From Dugu Bo's half closed eyes and relaxed expression, it was obvious he was thoroughly enjoying himself.
While basking in his granddaughter's massage, Dugu Bo spoke lazily. "Alright, kid, you can talk now. Let me hear what important thing you wanted to say."
Yu Tianlin glanced at Dugu Yan. After a moment's thought, he decided not to ask her to leave. This matter was directly related to curing her poison anyway, so there was no harm in her hearing it.
Dugu Bo had always kept the poisoning a secret from Dugu Yan, not because he did not care, but because he was helpless against it. He did not want his granddaughter to live in constant fear, so he chose to shoulder it alone. Now that Yu Tianlin had a way to resolve it, there was no longer any need to hide it.
"Senior Poison Douluo, please do not get angry at what I am about to say." Yu Tianlin first gave a small warning, then said, "Hair. Eyes."
"Hm?" Dugu Bo opened his eyes slightly. "What do you mean?"
"Sister Yan has purple hair and green eyes, and you have green hair and green eyes, Senior," Yu Tianlin said calmly. "But as far as I know, from ancient times until now, there has never been such hair and eye colors on Douluo Continent."
"So your hair and eye colors are not something you were born with. They were most likely changed by an external factor."
"As for what caused it, I remember Sister Yan's third Spirit Skill is Azure Phosphorous Poison. Meanwhile, the original poison of the Jade Phosphorous Snake Martial Soul should be green."
"That is enough!"
Dugu Bo suddenly shouted. His figure flashed and he appeared directly in front of Yu Tianlin, eerie green eyes staring straight into him.
"Brat, what exactly are you trying to say?" His voice was cold. "Are you trying to say that Yan Yan and I have both been poisoned by our own Martial Souls? How ridiculous. I am Poison Douluo."
Behind him, Dugu Yan had already guessed a little from Yu Tianlin's words, and her expression had turned somewhat uneasy. But after seeing her grandfather's reaction, she could not help feeling relieved.
That was true. Her grandfather was so powerful. He was the one who poisoned others. How could he possibly poison himself? Tianlin was clearly overthinking things.
Dugu Yan hurriedly stepped up, took Dugu Bo's arm, and gently pulled him back. "Grandpa, Tianlin is just worried about us. He saw that our hair and eye colors are different from other people's, so he thought something was wrong. He only said those things to remind us."
"What he said is incorrect, but his intentions are good."
"Hmph."
Dugu Bo snorted and turned away, returning to his rocking chair. "Kid, for Yan Yan's sake, I will not argue with you. Let us stop here. But if you dare spread such nonsense outside, do not blame me for being ruthless."
"Tianlin, hurry and apologize to Grandpa," Dugu Yan urged.
Yu Tianlin did not move. He simply watched Dugu Bo's performance and said softly, "Senior, you do not need to act anymore."
"I am completely certain that both you and Sister Yan are poisoned, and the poison really does come from your own Martial Souls."
"You dare spout nonsense?"
Dugu Bo's pupils shrank slightly.
He had thought Yu Tianlin was just guessing wildly, so he tried to intimidate him and scare him away from thinking further, using that to conceal the truth about the poisoning. He had not expected Yu Tianlin to remain completely unfazed, speaking with absolute confidence. Clearly, this was not some random guess.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo became more cautious. This brat might really have seen through it. But before anything else, he had to send his granddaughter away.
"Yan Yan, go out first," Dugu Bo said coldly. "I need to teach this brat who is talking nonsense a proper lesson."
"There is no need, Senior," Yu Tianlin replied. "You really do not need to pretend anymore, and you do not need to hide it from Sister Yan."
"Since I dared to bring it up, it naturally means I already have a way to help you solve this."
"I can cure the poison in both you and Sister Yan."
At that, Dugu Bo could no longer keep up the act. The armrest of the rocking chair shattered under his grip as he suddenly stood up again, eyes locked tightly onto Yu Tianlin. Even though he did not answer directly, his reaction had already indirectly confirmed that he and his granddaughter were indeed poisoned.
"Grandpa, are we really poisoned?"
Dugu Yan's eyes widened slightly, her voice dazed. Her grandfather had practically admitted it himself. "But, but why did you never tell me before?"
"Ahem. Yan Yan, Grandpa will explain it to you later." Dugu Bo coughed lightly, then glared at Yu Tianlin with a dark expression. "Brat, say it clearly. Can you cure this poison or not?"
"Of course."
Now that everything had been dragged out into the light, Yu Tianlin did not beat around the bush any longer and explained clearly.
"For poison attribute Spirit Masters, all of their toxins are concentrated in their Martial Soul. Senior, you are naturally the same. Your powerful toxin is concentrated in your Jade Phosphorous Snake Martial Soul."
"However, the Jade Phosphorous Snake is a Beast Martial Soul. Because of that, the poison it contains will inevitably seep into and corrode your physical body. That is how the poison in your bodies formed in the first place."
"I already know all this," Dugu Bo said, nodding slightly. Yu Tianlin had used just a few sentences to summarize the root cause of his and Dugu Yan's poisoning. However, he still said coldly, "But just knowing this is useless. There is no good way to solve it."
"Do not be in such a rush. Listen to me first," Yu Tianlin said slowly. "Because your Martial Soul is a beast type, you are corroded from within by the poison. If it were a weapon type Martial Soul, it would not be like this. In that case, the poison would be attached to the weapon Martial Soul as a carrier and would not harm the user's own body."
"Therefore, the best solution is to find a new carrier, transfer all the toxins into that carrier, and then your body will naturally no longer be eroded by the poison."
"You mean a Spirit Bone?" A green light flashed through Dugu Bo's eyes. "That is right. As long as the poison is forced into a Spirit Bone…"
However, his expression quickly darkened again and he frowned. "Even so, what you said is only a good idea in theory. Forcing out poison is not that easy. If anything goes wrong, it will cause a backlash."
Yu Tianlin did not argue. He simply reached into his Dragon Pattern Ring, took out the medicinal formula Yang Wudi had given him, and handed it to Dugu Bo.
"This is the prescription."
Dugu Bo took the paper and glanced at it, but at a quick look he could not immediately tell what its function was.
Yu Tianlin could only add, "Senior, take a closer look. As long as you use this formula to brew the medicine, it can help guide the poison out and greatly increase the success rate of expelling it into the Spirit Bone, while avoiding backlash."
"Oh?"
After hearing that, Dugu Bo finally began to study the formula seriously. The more he read, the brighter his green eyes became.
